erlang OS is not able to retrieve IP address in some conditions ( UI shows "[16:14:07] - IP address seems to have changed. Unable to listen on 'ns_1@169.254.15.168'." message every second after installing 1.8.1 on a windows 7 vm)

Which implies indeed this address is not available anymore. Or at least erlang/OS thinks so.

Given we decided to avoid completing proper fix for ip address selection and we have a known workaround (pick address manually) I don't think that's must have for 2.0 and maybe even for resolving as 'Incomplete'
